NoMeansNo

The title "greatest punk album of all time is about as controversial as declarative statements about music can get, but I have no trouble tossing NoMeansNos 1989 masterpiece, Wrong, into the ring with Never Mind the Bollocks, London Calling, and the Ramones. Songs like The Tower and Rags and Bones havent lost one iota of their cathartic, cacophonous potency over the years, and the same goes for the musicians that recorded them. 30 years into their existence as a band, NMN remain inexhaustible on stage, and sets are known to surpass the two-hour mark. Though they tour quite frequently, Seattle stops are mysteriously rare, and the fact that they are finally playing a sonically suitable space like Neumos is a treat. HANNAH LEVIN
